So how come it isn't raining in California? Because climate change is making it drier. Define schizophrenia?

Let's start up a reading list of recommended books about religion. So, what books have you read have been thought-provoking, influential, or just downright interesting? I'll start. The New Oxford Annotated Bible. I'm not done yet, but the annotations are very helpful and there are collections of explanatory essays and introductions to give background material about the theology and history involved. Lost Christianities, by Bart Ehrman. An interesting introduction into the early variants of Christianity that didn't survive to modern times. The variety is fascinating.

Congratulations on a thought provoking thread idea, Zosimus. One standard response, I find, from those less familiar with the philosophical issues involved, is to protest, "Newton's theory (or laws) still works very well. It got us to the Moon", and continue, "the theory remains true in its own domain of applicability". That Newton's theory is still of instrumental value is not disputed, at least not by me. But two problems present themselves. First: Whether a theory works or not is a very different question from whether that theory is true. This is what is always most difficult for me to communicate, no doubt due in part to the rather weighty baggage th…

While I would share your concern with an extreme reaction to someone denying the big bang model, there is a difference : there is evidence for the big bang model so belief doesn't come into our ; there is no evidence for gods so that is purely a matter of belief.

The only thing that slows a clock is a power outage...………………. Astronauts come back to Earth a portion of a second younger than if they did not go to space Unprovable, just like dark matter, but you will describe it as though it is real anyway

That is why evolutionary scientists do not try to make such ridiculous predictions. This should be a lesson to climate 'scientists' who, for some reason, DO make ridiculous predictions way into the future.

A chimp made it into space before any human did, so chimps appear be evolving very fast. They could overtake humans as the dominant species on earth soon

I am a simple point who thinks I am the end point. A multiple point (thought) and at the same time alone. I can be in a complex (spirit) or simple (reality) plan. When I see my multiple points away from me. I remind them that we are one point. Every point away from me does the same thing as me. And every point close to me dreams with me. All points are reminiscent of the points. And there are certain points that follow imaginary paths. To remind you at the end point that he is not alone. It is thanks to that that the universe moves. and who are you?

Bonjour, la réaction chimique à l'orgine de la vie peut continuer au-delà d'un espace d'une bactérie luca human ou des bactéries peuvent expliquer la diversité de la vie sur terre. It's stupid that nature chose the weakest solution to start.

Hello to all, Imagine two large holes A and B connect to a crack that leads to the center of the earth at the same point in the center. the center of the earth is it a temporal anomaly? What will happen if I drop dead in A or B? humans who travel in a place without mass towards the center of the earth are they the UFOs?

It would be very interesting if it were actually true. But it is not. The most fundamental loophole of all, can never be closed, not even in principle; because strange correlations MUST exist, whenever two or more measurements are EVER even attempted on an entity, that only enables one (an entity that only manifests a single bit of information). For a more detailed explanation of this ultimate loophole, see http://vixra.org/pdf/1804.0123v1.pdf

A lot of minerals are sort of dangerous to use for healing processes. For instance, if you have a broken arm, you wouldn't want to put dangerous minerals near it while it's healing. Magnetic minerals might disturb the healing process by forcing the soul out of the limb, and chalcanthite or something similar might disturb the bodies natural copper stores. My question is: are there any good minerals that can be used to accentuate the bodies natural healing process? If so, are any of these easily accessible?

How, well some 5 or so billion years ago, the primordial Earth had no climate, it went from a ball of gas and dust to a lifeless solidifying mass with no atmosphere. However (tell Al Gore) volcanoes began spewing gasses and gradually a climate emerged. Thus climate change is older than the Earths climate. 20,000 years ago half of NJ and everything above that was under thousands of feet of ice. Since this mostly melted by 10,000 years ago, the current rate of melt is well, babyshit. So climate change is very real, and totally normal, and there is no change in the last 150 years that comes anywhere the last 20,000 years. Which is why the pedophile from Penn State …

CRISPR allows things like adding or removing bits of DNA from a living creature, so would it make sense that CRISPR could help humanity achieve enlightenment? I've personally only managed to activate up to my solar plexus chakra, but have met with no success trying to open my heart chakra. Other methods of activating my chakras, such as meditation, magnetic compression, and electric stimulation, have failed, so I've been trying to find a way to do it that actually works. Any ideas would be very helpful, thanks!

And this is precisely why, in a place like this, any thread challenging evolutionary orthodoxy -- as I've learned from personal experience myself -- is invariably an exercise in futility. The OP is not asking you to rehearse established dogma; he is asking you to question the presuppositions which underwrite that dogma. He's asking you to think for yourselves. And that's just what no one here has shown any willingness to do. Our chapel is sound, thank you very much. Consider yourself hoping -- somewhat quixotically -- to take a poke at established dogma on a Moslem website, for instance. Your suspicion is that the site members have never challenged the assumptio…

Who is we, are there two more stooges? Where did you learn thee words of wisdom and from where did they get the info? I could make stuff up too, except I am a grown up How can the expanded material be the entire universe when that material is moving outward at a high rate of speed. Are you claiming that it goes nowhere, or that where it goes did not exist until the matter got there. My hope is that you learn that you can not make up stories as you go and be taken seriously That said Tyson makes up krap every day as well, Hawking wrote entire books of nonsense

He was just correcting the grammar in beecee’s post, not trying to give an authoritative version of the original. But I’m sure everyone appreciates your work in that respect. That is true for simple things. And (as the original was about physics) I think it would be fairly easy to explain, say, Newton’s laws to almost anyone. The basic concepts of more complex ideas can be explained in simple terms. But you soon run into the problem that people will only have a limited understanding. In the case of GR or the Higgs mechanism, their understanding will probably based on analogies of limited accuracy. This isn’t normally a problem. Except when people thin…

I want to know how I can turn my right arm into a whip with DNA manipulation. Of course on a technical level. Does this genetic manipulation needs to be applied to the entire body or just the arm? Does the crispr I choose to take target a specific cell, for instance, the arm cell. Should I choose metamorphosis by manipulating every DNA in the body?

Hi

Your questions about space are a good start. Many scientists today don't like philosophy but is what is needed more now than ever if it is to progress beyond the limits of institutional authoritarianism. It is also needed if one is to internalize what you learn rather than restricting it to the 'faith' in those claiming authority wherever they exist. Space is hard to define without reference to what 'matters' to us humans. This has lead those supporting the strict 'empirical' approach to refraining from definitions that cannot be shared by the senses. Given we seem to not notice space directly without other matter as a reference, many prefer to ignore speculating upo…

The phrase "conspiracy theory" is widely used as mockery. But of course, lots of conspiracies DO happen, and then they become history. Like the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba was going to be portrayed as a glorious liberation, and the multiple attempts by the CIA to kill Castro would have been a 'popular uprising'. Or the famous weapons of mass destruction. Then there's the Watergate episode. If they had succeeded, anybody making an allegation would have been labelled a "conspiracy theorist" and mocked. But they were all true, and they happened. So if you think that you know of a TRUE one, list it here, and give your reasoning. Of course, if one gives rise…
